How can we ensure equitable wellbeing for Black communities worldwide without the inclusion of Disabled Black voices and a disability justice framework? We must include the voices of intersectional Black identities!

If you’re at NCORE this week, join me and my fellow members of the National Advisory Council on Accessibility in the Academy for our session on Friday at 10:00 AM HAT,?"From Turtle Island to Palestine: Disability Justice as a Decolonizing Lens and Praxis."

Day 1: Introduction to the Human Rights Model Welcome to our 30-day journey on the Human Rights Model of Disability.

Keep advocating for SB 198 Georgia! SB 198, sponsored by Senator Sally Harrell, would create the Georgians with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Innovation Commission. The goal of the commission is to develop new solutions for ending the NOW/COMP waitlist, employment, housing, and other important issues for the disability community so that adults with I/DD can live, work, and thrive in our communities. The bill has currently passed through the Senate, and is ready to be heard in the House Public Health Committee, where it can be voted on and passed onto the House floor for a vote. This would bring SB 198 one step closer to becoming a law. If you would like to see the Georgians with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Innovation Commission become a reality, make your voice heard now using our Phone2Action advocacy tool.

?? "The neurodiversity paradigm... says there is no one ideal way to be. There are many differences and challenges: those differences can be acknowledged, can be accommodated, can be celebrated, and hopefully elevated." - ??Pasha Marlowe, MFT on shifting perspectives in neurodiversity. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with Pasha Marlowe, CEO of Neurobelonging, as we explore the evolving landscape of neurodiversity and disability inclusion. Discover how Pasha: ? Challenges the pathology paradigm in favor of celebrating neurodiversity ? Advocates for inclusive design in workplaces and communities ? Addresses the complexities of unmasking and authenticity in professional settings ? Envisions a future of work that embraces diverse thinking styles As a fellow healthcare professional, I'm inspired by Pasha's call for a more nuanced, inclusive approach to human differences. Her insights remind us that true progress comes through open dialogue and a willingness to challenge the status quo. Pasha's words motivate us to create more inclusive spaces in our own spheres of influence.
